Mediated publics for inclusion are spaces that are open up participation to all. As a study, I created Crafting Access to empower communications access for deaf and hard of hearing students in workplace, it’s impact, and what this might mean for design.
My research into communications access began with the question of communications in collaboration. Informed by research on innovative environments are the result of the larger social interactions within communities of collaborators.
Where the sparks for innovation are found in these spaces isn’t the primary tasks, but in the side or social conversations. Inability to access social conversation has consequences for career satisfaction for deaf and hard of hearing, but also anyone with a barriers to social communications from gender to language. These barriers isolate workers and. In the case of the deaf and hard of hearing, we see especially high numbers of un- or underemployed and reliant on public assistance, some of which can be traced to workplace discomfort.
For those that stay in the workforce, advancement and achievement can be out of reach as social conversation is associated with career advancement.
How might these barriers come down to create more inclusive spaces? My thesis work takes the position that social conversation requires social tools and reframes self-directed access as empowerment.
In this overview, I discuss the changing landscape of being a scholar in an era of digital technology, open access publishing, and shifting scholarly practices. At the end are several links to resources for the workshop.

The advent of online social networks and ready access to massive document collections has provided a rich, large-scale playground for researchers interested in understanding social networks, what people say on them, and identifying interesting segments within large populations. This talk gives an overview of recent research on a number of topics, including measuring bias at scale, the effect of network structure on virality, and inferring networks from information cascades. I'll also discuss how profile analytics and user segmentation enables more effective product campaigns that incorporate tailored content and offers based on the interests and behaviors of individuals within segments.

This presentation was session 7 in a 12 part webinar series on the book Extreme Democracy. Extreme democracy is a political philosophy of the information era that puts people in charge of the entire political process. It suggests a deliberative process that places total confidence in the people, opening the policy-making process to many centers of power through deeply networked coalitions that can be organized around local, national and international issues. This seminar covered Strategy & the Political Process: A discussion of the essays of Adam Greenfield (Democracy for the Rest of Us: The Minimal Compact & Open Source Government) & Ethan Zuckerman (Making Room for the Third World in the Second Superpower), pages 200 – 227
Thinking in networks: what it means for policy makers – PDF 2014Alberto Cottica
Network thinking is increasingly being adopted by policy makers, even at senior level. We explore what is driving this change, and what its long-term consequences might be in a society where "smart swarms" are becoming important, and public policy is being enacted by agents other than the state. Keynote given to Personal Democracy Forum Italy in Rome, September2014.
Capstone Studio: Gender-Inclusive Planning | Final ReportNicholas P. Addamo
As part of Hunter College’s Master of Urban Planning program capstone, the Gender-Inclusive Planning studio (GenderInc) has produced a report describing planning interventions and policy recommendations to elevate LGBTQ safety and equity in the urban public realm. We used the Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens as a focus area for our efforts, as it is home to a large LGBTQ population and has been the site of several recent instances of gender-based violence. Jackson Heights also contains varied land uses, transportation options, and a richly diverse populous, enough so to capture the wide range of planning issues that one could encounter in the rest of the city at large. Our initiatives and recommendations are aimed at reducing harassment and violence against LGBTQ people in public spaces, with a particular focus on public transit as well as on transit’s street-level access points. These recommendations and initiatives are specifically designed to be executed on a broader level across the five boroughs of New York City. Such a citywide application of the report’s findings would position New York City as a national leader in addressing gender-based violence and harassment. Our final report is now available for download, here: http://genderinc.squarespace.com/the-project/
After reading this journal article regarding ethics of interne.docxrosiecabaniss
After reading this journal article regarding
ethics of internet research, I have discovered different viewpoints of research and determined some ethical concerns.
As this type of “web-based” research grows, researchers will face ethical concerns that are different from traditional research ethical issues, (Denissen, Neumann & Van Zalk, 2010)
The main attribute of internet research, as I see it, is the ability to have a global footprint; meaning almost any one that has a computer and connectivity can access all types of information and data. Along with this power, comes great responsibility. The web can be a wonderful tool which can afford individuals, organizations, communities, and others tremendous access into good and bad places. This access can afford humans into medical breakthroughs, how to guides on repairs and building, how to get from city to city, and a multitude of positive ways to learn and grow.
Internet research use is growing at a fast pace and consequently, is creating ethical dilemmas.
At the same time, it can be a way to link terrorists’ organizations, promote child pornography etc. As you can see, internet research can be used for the greater good, or to our detriment.
This is where the ethics comes into play, and guidelines are set up to monitor ethical issues which occur due to this process. Institutional Review Boards at institutions conducting this type of
research
need specific guidelines for researchers to follow in order to maintain the integrity of
research.

With the rapid increase of technology has come tremendous opportunity. Information is more easily accessible than ever before, which also creates ethical concerns. This week’s lecture describes research that is ethical as one “that the researchers are protecting the privacy of the participants and any research data collected about them.” The journal article, “The Ethics of Internet Research” examines internet research and the ethical issues that arise.
The advantages of internet research over traditional methods are that it is less costly, less of a time commitment, more controlled by the researcher, higher accuracy in data collection, and the ability to easily provide follow up and feedback (Williams, 2012). In a lot of aspects, internet research can be more efficient and less costly. However, there are many disadvantages that the article addresses on internet research. One is lack of control over the test setting (Williams, 2012). It is difficult to verify if the subject is in fact who they .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Collective action is a
collaborative effort that takes
place in groups and diverges from
the social norms of the situation.
2. Theories of Collective Action
According to convergence theory,
collective action happens when people
with similar ideas and tendencies
gather in the same place.
3. Theories of Collective Action
Emergent norm theory emphasizes the
influence of leaders in promoting
particular norms that members of a group
then follow.
4. • Americans have traditionally had high
participation levels in volunteer activities.
• It seems that volunteerism has declined
somewhat in the United States, and one possible
explanation is the influence of the Internet:
people can join groups online and donate money
online to support causes without participating
in any face-to-face meetings or activities.

• Teaching engagement and ... innovation can help people
have that experience on a smaller and less-traumatic
scale."
• The study found the civic drive at an all-time high among
rising high school graduates. Of incoming college freshmen
surveyed by the Census, nearly half wanted to become
leaders in their communities, and 80 percent wanted to
"help others who are in difficulty."
• Those rates are higher than any time since the Census
began tracking the attitudes in the mid-1960s.
11. • A social movement is collective behavior
that is purposeful, organized, and
institutionalized. It is interested in
creating, resisting, or undoing a social
change.
• Alterative social movements seek limited
social change and tend to be focused on a
narrow group of people.
